Working with the High School Ministry the past year, I've seen things about the 'good old days' that I never realized. How much opportunity there is to get involved with different sports, and organizations, and student groups. How much opportunity I had to share my faith, and didn't.
Regret isn't a word I would use, as I regret very little in my life. It was a learning experience which molded me into who I am today, simply a year later. That being said, the difference between a HS senior and a college freshman are immense in more ways then one (figured that one out this past year too!).
I'm so thankful for my past year as it has been so quick, especially the summer! I don't know what I've done for the past two/three months, but it seems very little to what I have done in the past. Work, and disc-golf? Is that all I've amounted to with my time... wow! I know that I've done much more, but it takes some concentration to see it! :P Friendships would be the biggest thing on my what happened recently list. Wither it's growing close, growing apart, or maintaining them, I have really seen a change in who I call friend.
God's Love is amazing. The college ministry known as 'The College Group' that I attend has been talking about phileo love, which would be best described in modern terms as brotherly or friendship love/affection. I fall so short of what God calls us to be as loving friends. My prayer is to grow in my love for God, and for others, putting Him and them before myself that I may show Christ's love though my everyday actions.
I hope that you're milking all you can out of your summer months, and that your love, phileo love only continues to grow!
I found this on Adam Young's Myspace page, relate fully and leave you with it:
I follow Jesus Christ wholeheartedly. He is my life, my strength, my all.
